Dante Aperitivo
Dante's lighter seafood-and-spritz sibling, with raw-bar energy and aperitivo logic.
Why we ranked it a top bar:
At 51 Bank Street, Dante Aperitivo is Dante’s lighter, sea-breezed sibling: spritzes, seafood, aperitivo logic, and Village prettiness in abundance. It is less monument than invitation, a place where one can begin with oysters and end by arguing that another Negroni is medicinal.
Who would like it: spritz drinkers, seafood lovers, Dante loyalists, West Village couples, and aperitivo obsessives.
Drinks: spritzes, Americanos, Negronis, and lighter aperitivo cocktails.
Food: seafood-forward, including raw-bar energy noted in recent coverage.
Crowd: polished, social, West Village elegant.
Best night: late afternoon Friday or Sunday.
Price: not confirmed in the report.
The report lists Dante Aperitivo as a 2026 citywide Time Out pick, and Eater reported its 51 Bank Street opening with an aperitivi-and-seafood focus.
